Christmas Tree Hunting...

Every year we go to the same Christmas tree lot and pick out our tree. Cooper was a little more lively this year...to say the least.

This is him saying "cheese" but really eye balling all the trees he was going to knock down.

You probably can't tell but he's yelling "put me down mama".

Covered in sap....

Jon did not want to take this picture...there are so many thoughts running through his head and I'm feel blessed he kept them to himself :)

Cooper wanted to carry the tree so bad...next year buddy!

Gobble Gobble

Thanksgiving at the Show household...always entertaining, always a little bit crazy.

Cooper loves his aunt Jess...she is always willing to play with him which is a nice treat for us!

Matt reads the stories so animated...Cooper loved it!

I love this this pic...

Cooper insisted he had a coozie too so he could keep his milk cold...cheers!

Fall Days

Cooper spent a morning "helping" us in the yard...he wanted to do everything himself. He made more of a mess but it was fun to watch him run around!

In deep thought...and working really hard

I wonder where Cooper learns all his bad behavior...hmm...he blows their kid with a leaf blower and smirks?

Notice his hair being "gently" swept away from the wind...or the leaf blower that his dad has directed towards his head

Once again..."helping"

Blown Away Man

We all have dreams - some are fulfilled and some still sit out there waiting for us to keep chasing them. While we'd prefer to achieve our own dreams, there might be some measure of satisfaction watching our children reach a goal that was unattainable in our lifetimes. Today, Cooper made that happen for his dear old dad. Toilet in front of the TV.

Happy Halloween!!!

I know...a little late on my post...I've been traveling way too much. Anyhow, below are pics from Halloween. Jon actually made Cooper's costume, so impressive. He was Bam-Bam.

This was after he got the hang of it..."let's go mama...hurry up"

This was before he realized he was about to venture out and collect free candy for his parents. Jon had to hold him down in order to get his costume on!

Running fast to keep up with his new friends Superman & the Ice Princess.

Cooper kept calling the ice princess Shrek Princess, she did not like it at all but the rest of us found it amusing. Danny, aka Superman was Cooper's tour guide for the night
